Chapter 20 Shocked
Time is turned back half a day ago.
Li Dali ran away with all his might, and Lu Xiao was at the back.
The two chased and fled, and they fought from time to time. In a blink of an eye, they ran nearly twenty miles away. At this time, the sun was already above their heads, and it was noon. They had been running and fighting for nearly a morning. Both Lu Xiao and Li Dali were unable to bear it.
But one side is for the escape, and the other side is for the face. Even though they wished they could fall to the ground immediately and rest for a few hours, the two of them still gritted their teeth and squeezed the last bit of energy in their bodies.
But Li Dali has been planning for escape since last night and his sleep quality is poor. After getting up, he is busy running away and has no idea of eating. In addition, he jumped into the cold river and consumed a lot of energy to fight the cold and swimming. When the sun was slightly west, he could no longer hold on.
Although Lu Xiao's situation was slightly better than Li Dali, he was still very good. Last night, he concealed his identity and accompanied Zhou Guan to deal with the wealthy officials and households in Xin'an County. Although he finally escaped by pretending to be drunk, he still drank a lot of wine before this.
In addition, after escaping from the banquet, he had to listen to Zhao Qing's rewards, and he thought about Li Dali's identity all night long and might have a possible reaction after he jumped over the wall. The various routes of escape were not much better. He even got up early in the morning, so he asked and bid farewell to Zhou Guan. In fact, he slept less than Li Dali.
The only thing that is considered stronger than Li Dali is that Li Dali drifted down the river and consumed a lot of energy. After seeing Li Dali sneaking into the river, he followed the river bank and tracked the other person on land, just a little more calm than Li Dali. If Li Dali was included, his physical fitness was much stronger than him, then the situation between him and Li Dali was actually just the same.
It is precisely because of this that the two reached their physical limits almost at the same time, and after barely and weakly, they finally fell down with unwillingness, their chests fluctuated violently, and they breathed in big mouthfuls, hoping to recover some strength faster than the other party.
"Hey, are you really the Jinyiwei?" Although he fell down dejectedly, an old man like Li Dali, after he had recovered his strength to speak, he began to attack verbally. "I have been in the Jinyiwei for so long, but I have never seen a stupid Jinyiwei as you."
"Hmph, I, such a fool, can even chase you away like a scared hen. Are you really a man from the martial arts world?" Although Lu Xiao was a little annoyed, he was obviously not fooled. Instead, he retorted at Li Dali with a sneer on his face.
"Ku, have you never heard of the saying "The older the world, the less courageous you are?" Li Dali replied casually in the face of Lu Xiao's sarcasm, "In this world, the bravest ones are almost dead, and the rest are all timid like me. You are so stupid as to abandon the many other minions of the Jinyiwei and come alone to hunt me down, I'm afraid you won't live long."
"Hmph!" Lu Xiao snorted disdainfully, "There is no one in the world who dares to kill the Jinyiwei."
"Haha." Li Dali was stunned for a moment when he heard Lu Xiao's arrogant words, and then he laughed to the sky as if he had heard the funnyest jokes in the world.
"What are you laughing at?" Lu Xiao was a little annoyed.
"Haha, there is no one who dares to kill the Jinyiwei?" Li Dali shook his head gently, looking at a fool, "Stop talking about other people, if you didn't avoid my sword half a day ago, do you think you can still lie here and swear loudly now?"
"You are different." Lu Xiao did not care about Li Dali's sarcasm, and stared at him with great concentration and said in a deep voice.
"Just," Li Dali's heart sank as he looked at Lu Xiao's eyes, but he looked like he was not caring at all, "What's different about me?"
"You are not a man from the Jianghu," Lu Xiao said slowly, "or rather, you are not a man from the Jianghu before you escape to the town and hide in Dongsheng Inn."
"Hmph, then who do you think I will be?" Li Dali was still full of disdain, but slowly clenched the hand of Yan Lingdao in his hand betrayed his true thoughts.
"I don't know yet," Lu Xiao's eyes drooped, looking at Li Dali's hand holding the hilt, warning him that he had seen his little movement, "But I don't mind you telling me in person."
"Bang!" Another crisp sound from a collision of steel was made. Even if Lu Xiao saw it through, Li Dali still suddenly bounced from the ground and slashed at Lu Xiao's head with a knife. But Lu Xiao, who had already discovered his small movements, naturally would not be without any defense. With a raised hand, the Tang sword in his hand held the Yanling sword in Li Dali's hand.
"On ordinary people in the martial arts world can't distinguish between Tang swords, Japanese swords and Miao swords. Even if they see Tang swords, they will only think that this is the Japanese sword or Miao sword," Lu Xiao stared at his eyes and continued in a deep voice, "But just one glance, you recognize that this is the Tang sword. Ordinary people in the martial arts world have no such eyesight. Only those who are familiar with the palace guards can see at a glance that this is the Tang sword worn by the palace guards, and it is cast in the methods and styles of the ancient books passed down." Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who are you?!"
"Ha." Looking at the Tang Dao in Lu Xiao's hand, Li Dali showed a bitter smile on his face. He didn't expect that just when he saw this familiar weapon, he subconsciously exclaimed, Lu Xiao could infer these things, "I'm wrong. Although you are young, you are not stupid, but a very smart young man." Li Dali seemed to have given up completely, and leaned on the big tree behind him again, sitting on the ground with some memories and beauty in his eyes, looking at the Tang Dao in Lu Xiao's hand.
Li Dali looked like he surrendered, but Lu Xiao remained vigilant and did not dare to be careless at all. He had to admit that Li Dali had nothing wrong with saying that it was indeed a very stupid behavior to leave behind many subordinates in the Jinyiwei to act alone. He is not a man from the martial arts world, and he doesn't have to care about the rules of the martial arts world at all. Moreover, even if he is a man from the martial arts world, there are countless things that bully the few with the more and the big with the small.
"What's your name?" Li Dali saw that Lu Xiao was still vigilant, and he didn't care. Instead, he asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Lu Xiao." Although I don't understand what Li Dali means, even if I face the officials and wealthy families in Xin'an County, I can tell my name openly. It is obvious that there will be no problem to tell Li Dali.
"Road?" Li Dali's eyes lit up, "Which road? But the road that comes from afar, horsepower will show people's hearts over time?"
"So what?" Lu Xiao frowned slightly, not understanding why Li Dali was suddenly so enthusiastic.
"Can you know Lu Xin?" Li Dali's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"How could you know your father's name?!" At this moment, Lu Xiao's face showed a look of shock.
"Haha," Li Dali laughed again, but this time, his smile became a little playful. "Because he is my senior brother!" Li Dali smiled and said something that shocked Lu Xiao.
